Safety information and warnings

~Safe operation of the appliance is only assured if it has been installed and connected in accordance with these installation and operating instructions.

~To protect the refrigerator from possible damage, take care that it always remains in an upright position. Any time it is moved or installed, always let it stand for 30 to 60 minutes before plugging it in. This allows the coolant and lubricant to settle down, which is essential for proper operation.

~This appliance is not designed for use in non-stationary locations (for example, on ships). However, this use may be possible if a qualified specialist determines that the appliance can be used safely in the location in question.

~Only suitably qualified professionals should perform installation work, maintenance, and repairs on this appliance.

~To eliminate the risk of electric shock, one of the following conditions must apply:

–the appliance has been unplugged from the socket. To unplug, pull carefully on the plug, NOT on the cord.

–the main breaker for the house wiring system is completely shut off.

–the screw-out fuse is completely unscrewed and removed.

~Do not connect the appliance to the power supply by an extension cord.

Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (danger of overheating, for example).
